The Orlando Sentinel: You appear to be in a state of...

April 1, 1985

The Orlando Sentinel: You appear to be in a state of shock, shaken over this loss than any other.

Corso: I guess I am. This has been three weeks in a row of close losses and it's, well, a hard thing to take. You work so hard, your team works so hard and your staff works so hard and you lose close ones three weeks in a row and it makes for an emotional situation. You have to give Denver credit for coming from behind. I said at halftime to the guy on the radio that I wish we were playing somebody besides the Run and Shoot with a 17-point lead.

Q: What caused your offense to shut down in the second half?

A: I thought Denver played a nice bump-and-run and closer to us after the half, and we couldn't execute some of the things we tried. They took some things away and forced us into some kind of passing attack and we couldn't complete some key passes. And that was to their (Denver's) credit. Most of the credit goes to the Denver ballclub for coming back in the second half and playing smooth, solid football.

Q: Do you feel you went too conservative in the second half -- got into sort of a running-out-the-clock mode?

A: I'd have to look at the statistics to see. I don't think so, but maybe I did. I promise you, I never thought in those terms. I was trying to throw the ball in the second half. I knew that you can't do that against those guys. They can score so quickly.

Q: How would you evaluate the overall effort of your team?

A: I really believe that our guys gave a full effort again and we lost the game. That's the bottom line. All in all, I thought our defense played well and our offense, at times, played pretty good.
